Grade C · #247MEDGm
Four named pharmacies and a coverage claim that matches its own selector, wrapped around a headline that is the prepaid-year rate and a funnel that approves you before a clinician looks.

Winner: CoreAge Rx
CoreAge Rx takes it with a higher Verdict Score — 94/100 to 64/100 (grade A vs C). Anyone who wants transparent flat pricing and nationwide access without a teaser-rate bait-and-switch. MEDGm still earns its place — a reader who will compare the month-to-month rate with the prepaid-year headline before deciding what this actually costs.
The score compares published program terms and features; it does not measure clinical outcomes or predict which treatment will suit you.

|---|---|---|
| Verdict Score | 94/100 | 64/100 |

CoreAge Rx
What we like
- Flat, all-in monthly price with no intro-rate step-ups after month one
- Both compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide on one account
- Available in all 50 states
- Straightforward, low-friction cancellation
The caveats
- Not the cheapest — flat-price challengers like Trimi Health and Alan Meds undercut its sticker price
- No FDA-approved brand-name option (compounded only)
- Does not yet publicly name its 503A/B pharmacy partner
MEDGm
What we like
- Four pharmacies are named with street addresses, phone numbers and websites, in a Terms section written for the purpose
- The coverage claim matches the intake's own state selector exactly, so the two surfaces a reader can check agree
- Seven prescribing entities are named on the consent page rather than hidden behind a single unnamed medical group
- An oral dissolving tablet is sold alongside the injection, priced as its own program
- A phone number and a support address are published, and the patient portal is a real one
The caveats
- The advertised "starting at $169" is the twelve-month rate, billed upfront; month to month is $299 for semaglutide and $399 for tirzepatide, and the $120 coupon covers the first month only
- The treatments FAQ promises that the price never increases even as the dose goes up, on a plan whose price increases at the first renewal
- The twelve-month plan is billed upfront, auto-renews for another full upfront charge, and may be billed and shipped up to ten days early by consent
- The funnel prints an approval and a success probability before any payment and before a clinician has seen the intake, beside a timer that resets on reload
- Brand Zepbound, Wegovy and Ozempic need a $99 or $171 membership plus a medication cost the site does not publish
